* Mon Oct 13 2025 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 4.14.2:
* Making ResultSet inherit from MutableSequence still resulted
in too many breaking changes in users of the library,
so I reverted the ResultSet code back to where it was in 4.13.5
and added tests of all known breaking behavior. [bug=2125906]
* Made ResultSet inherit from MutableSequence instead of
Sequence, since lots of existing code treats ResultSet as a
mutable list.
* This version adds function overloading to the find_* methods
to make it easier to write type-safe Python.
* The typing for find_parent() and find_parents() was improved
without any overloading. Casts should never be necessary,
since those methods only ever return Tag and ResultSet[Tag],
respectively.
* ResultSet now inherits from Sequence. This should make it
easier to incorporate ResultSet objects into your type system
without needing to handle ResultSet specially.
* Fixed an unhandled exception when creating the string
representation of a decomposed element.
* The default value for the 'attrs' attribute in find* methods
is now None, not the empty dictionary. This should have no visible
effect on anything.
* Wed Sep 10 2025 John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <adrian.glaubitz@suse.com>
- Update to 4.13.5
* Fixed an unhandled exception when parsing invalid markup that contains the { character
when using lxml==6.0.0. [bug=2116306]
* Fixed a regression when matching a multi-valued attribute against the
empty string. [bug=2115352]
* Unit tests and test case data are no longer packaged with the wheel. [bug=2107495]
* Fixed a bug that gave the wrong result when parsing the empty bytestring. [bug=2110492]
* Brought the Spanish translation of the documentation up to date with
4.13.4. Courtesy of Carlos Romero.
* For Python 3.13 and above, disabled tests that verify Beautiful Soup's handling of htmlparser's
exceptions when given very bad markup. The bug in htmlparser that caused
this behavior has been fixed. Patch courtesy of Stefano Rivera.
* Used overloading to improve type hints for prettify().
* Updated the SoupStrainer documentation to clarify that during initial
parsing, attribute values are always passed into the SoupStrainer as raw strings. [bug=2111651]
* Fixed all type checking errors issued by pyright. (Previously only mypy
was used for type checking.)
* Improved the type hints for PageElement.replace_with. [bug=2114746]
* Improved the type hint for the arguments of the lambda function that can
be used to match a tag's attribute. [bug=2110401]
* Modified some of the lxml tests to accommodate behavioral changes in libxml2
2.14.3. Specifically:
1. XML declarations and processing instructions in HTML documents
are rewritten as comments. Note that this means XHTML documents will
now turn into regular HTML documents if run through the 'lxml'
parser. The 'xml' parser is unaffected.
2. Out-of-range numeric entities are replaced with REPLACEMENT
CHARACTER rather than omitted entirely. [bug=2112242]
* Sun Jul 13 2025 Ben Greiner <code@bnavigator.de>
- Update to 4.13.4
* If you pass a function as the first argument to a find* method,
the function will only ever be called once per tag, with the
Tag object as the argument. Starting in 4.13.0, there were
cases where the function would be called with a Tag object and
then called again with the name of the tag. [bug=2106435]
* Added a passthrough implementation for
NavigableString.__getitem__ which gives a more helpful
exception if the user tries to treat it as a Tag and access its
HTML attributes.
* Fixed a bug that caused an exception when unpickling the result
of parsing certain invalid markup with lxml as the tree
builder. [bug=2103126]
* Converted the AUTHORS file to UTF-8 for PEP8 compliance.
[bug=2107405]
- Release 4.13.3 (20250204)
* Modified the 4.13.2 change slightly to restore backwards
compatibility. Specifically, calling a find_* method with no
arguments should return the first Tag out of the iterator, not
the first PageElement. [bug=2097333]
- Release 4.13.2 (20250204)
* Gave ElementFilter the ability to explicitly say that it
excludes every item in the parse tree. This is used internally
in situations where the provided filters are logically
inconsistent or match a value against the null set.
Without this, it's not always possible to distinguish between a
SoupStrainer that excludes everything and one that excludes
nothing.
This fixes a bug where calls to find_* methods with no
arguments returned None, instead of the first item out of the
iterator. [bug=2097333]
Things added to the API to support this:
- The ElementFilter.includes_everything property
- The MatchRule.exclude_everything member
- The _known_rules argument to ElementFilter.match. This is an
optional argument used internally to indicate that an
optimization is safe.
- Release 4.13.1 (20250203)
* Updated pyproject.toml to require Python 3.7 or above.
[bug=2097263]
* Pinned the typing-extensions dependency to a minimum version of
4.0.0. [bug=2097262]
* Restored the English documentation to the source distribution.
[bug=2097237]
* Fixed a regression where HTMLFormatter and XMLFormatter were
not propagating the indent parameter to the superconstructor.
[bug=2097272]
- Release 4.13.0 (20250202)
* This release introduces Python type hints to all public classes
and methods in Beautiful Soup. The addition of these type hints
exposed a large number of very small inconsistencies in the
code, which I've fixed, but the result is a larger-than-usual
number of deprecations and changes that may break backwards
compatibility.
Chris Papademetrious deserves a special thanks for his work on
this release through its long beta process.
[#]# Deprecation notices
* These things now give DeprecationWarnings when you try to use
them, and are scheduled to be removed in Beautiful Soup 4.15.0.
* Every deprecated method, attribute and class from the 3.0 and
2.0 major versions of Beautiful Soup. These have been
deprecated for a very long time, but they didn't issue
DeprecationWarning when you tried to use them. Now they do, and
they're all going away soon.
This mainly refers to methods and attributes with camelCase
names, for example: renderContents, replaceWith,
replaceWithChildren, findAll, findAllNext, findAllPrevious,
findNext, findNextSibling, findNextSiblings, findParent,
findParents, findPrevious, findPreviousSibling,
findPreviousSiblings, getText, nextSibling, previousSibling,
isSelfClosing, fetchNextSiblings, fetchPreviousSiblings,
fetchPrevious, fetchPreviousSiblings, fetchParents, findChild,
findChildren, childGenerator, nextGenerator,
nextSiblingGenerator, previousGenerator,
previousSiblingGenerator, recursiveChildGenerator, and
parentGenerator.
This also includes the BeautifulStoneSoup class.
* The SAXTreeBuilder class, which was never officially supported
or tested.
* The private class method BeautifulSoup._decode_markup(), which
has not been used inside Beautiful Soup for many years.
* The first argument to BeautifulSoup.decode has been changed
from pretty_print:bool to indent_level:int, to match the
signature of Tag.decode. Using a bool will still work but will
give you a DeprecationWarning.
* SoupStrainer.text and SoupStrainer.string are both deprecated,
since a single item can't capture all the possibilities of a
SoupStrainer designed to match strings.
* SoupStrainer.search_tag(). It was never a documented method,
but if you use it, you should start using
SoupStrainer.allow_tag_creation() instead.
* The soup:BeautifulSoup argument to the TreeBuilderForHtml5lib
constructor is now required, not optional. It's unclear why it
was optional in the first place, so if you discover you need
this, contact me for possible un-deprecation.
[#]# Compatibility notices
* This version drops support for Python 3.6. The minimum
supported major Python version for Beautiful Soup is now Python
3.7.
* Deprecation warnings have been added for all deprecated methods
and attributes (see above). Going forward, deprecated names
will be removed two feature releases or one major release after
the deprecation warning is added.
* The storage for a tag's attribute values now modifies incoming
values to be consistent with the HTML or XML spec. This means
that if you set an attribute value to a number, it will be
converted to a string immediately, rather than being converted
when you output the document. [bug=2065525]
More importantly for backwards compatibility, setting an HTML
attribute value to True will set the attribute's value to the
appropriate string per the HTML spec. Setting an attribute
value to False or None will remove the attribute value from the
tag altogether, rather than (effectively, as before) setting
the value to the string "False" or the string "None".
This means that some programs that modify documents will
generate different output than they would in earlier versions
of Beautiful Soup, but the new documents are more likely to
represent the intent behind the modifications.
To give a specific example, if you have code that looks
something like this:
checkbox1['checked'] = True checkbox2['checked'] = False
Then a document that used to look like this (with most browsers
treating both boxes as checked):
<input type="checkbox" checked="True"/> <input type="checkbox"
checked="False"/>
Will now look like this (with browsers treating only the first
box as checked):
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked"/> <input
type="checkbox"/>
You can get the old behavior back by instantiating a
TreeBuilder with `attribute_dict_class=dict`, or you can
customize how Beautiful Soup treates attribute values by
passing in a custom subclass of dict.
* If Tag.get_attribute_list() is used to access an attribute
that's not set, the return value is now an empty list rather
than [None].
* If you pass an empty list as the attribute value when searching
the tree, you will now find all tags which have that attribute
set to a value in the empty list--that is, you will find
nothing. This is consistent with other situations where a list
of acceptable values is provided. Previously, an empty list was
treated the same as None and False, and you would have found
the tags which did not have that attribute set at all.
[bug=2045469]
* For similar reasons, if you pass in limit=0 to a find() method,
you will now get zero results. Previously, you would get all
matching results.
* When using one of the find() methods or creating a
SoupStrainer, if you specify the same attribute value in
``attrs`` and the keyword arguments, you'll end up with two
different ways to match that attribute. Previously the value in
keyword arguments would override the value in ``attrs``.
* All exceptions were moved to the bs4.exceptions module, and all
warnings to the bs4._warnings module (named so as not to shadow
Python's built-in warnings module). All warnings and exceptions
are exported from the bs4 module, which is probably the safest
place to import them from in your own code.
* As a side effect of this, the string constant
BeautifulSoup.NO_PARSER_SPECIFIED_WARNING was moved to
GuessedAtParserWarning.MESSAGE.
* The 'html5' formatter is now much less aggressive about
escaping ampersands, escaping only the ampersands considered
"ambiguous" by the HTML5 spec (which is almost none of them).
This is the sort of change that might break your unit test
suite, but the resulting markup will be much more readable and
more HTML5-ish.
To quickly get the old behavior back, change code like this:
tag.encode(formatter='html5')
to this:
tag.encode(formatter='html5-4.12')
In the future, the 'html5' formatter may be become the default
HTML formatter, which will change Beautiful Soup's default
output. This will break a lot of test suites so it's not going
to happen for a while. [bug=1902431]
* Tag.sourceline and Tag.sourcepos now always have a consistent
data type: Optional[int]. Previously these values were
sometimes an Optional[int], and sometimes they were
Optional[Tag], the result of searching for a child tag called
<sourceline> or <sourcepos>. [bug=2065904]
If your code does search for a tag called <sourceline> or
<sourcepos>, it may stop finding that tag when you upgrade to
Beautiful Soup 4.13. If this happens, you'll need to replace
code that treats "sourceline" or "sourcepos" as tag names:
tag.sourceline
with code that explicitly calls the find() method:
tag.find("sourceline").name
Making the behavior of sourceline and sourcepos consistent has
the side effect of fixing a major performance problem when a
Tag is copied.
With this change, the store_line_numbers argument to the
BeautifulSoup constructor becomes much less useful, and its use
is now discouraged, thought I'm not deprecating it yet. Please
contact me if you have a performance or security rationale for
setting store_line_numbers=False.
* append(), extend(), insert(), and unwrap() were moved from
PageElement to Tag. Those methods manipulate the 'contents'
collection, so they would only have ever worked on Tag objects.
* The BeautifulSoupHTMLParser constructor now requires a
BeautifulSoup object as its first argument. This almost
certainly does not affect you, since you probably use
HTMLParserTreeBuilder, not BeautifulSoupHTMLParser directly.
* The TreeBuilderForHtml5lib methods fragmentClass(),
getFragment(), and testSerializer() now raise
NotImplementedError. These methods are called only by
html5lib's test suite, and Beautiful Soup isn't integrated into
that test suite, so this code was long since unused and
untested.
These methods are _not_ deprecated, since they are methods
defined by html5lib. They may one day have real
implementations, as part of a future effort to integrate
Beautiful Soup into html5lib's test suite.
* AttributeValueWithCharsetSubstitution.encode() is renamed to
substitute_encoding, to avoid confusion with the much different
str.encode()
* Using PageElement.replace_with() to replace an element with
itself returns the element instead of None.
* All TreeBuilder constructors now take the empty_element_tags
argument. The sets of tags found in
HTMLTreeBuilder.empty_element_tags and
HTMLTreeBuilder.block_elements are now in
HTMLTreeBuilder.DEFAULT_EMPTY_ELEMENT_TAGS and
HTMLTreeBuilder.DEFAULT_BLOCK_ELEMENTS, to avoid confusing them
with instance variables.
* The unused constant LXMLTreeBuilderForXML.DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASS
has been removed.
* Some of the arguments in the methods of LXMLTreeBuilderForXML
have been renamed for consistency with the names lxml uses for
those arguments in the superclass. This won't affect you unless
you were calling methods like LXMLTreeBuilderForXML.start()
directly.
* In particular, the arguments to
LXMLTreeBuilderForXML.prepare_markup have been changed to match
the arguments to the superclass, TreeBuilder.prepare_markup.
Specifically, document_declared_encoding now appears before
exclude_encodings, not after. If you were calling this method
yourself, I recommend switching to using keyword arguments
instead.
[#]# New features
* The new ElementFilter class encapsulates Beautiful Soup's rules
about matching elements and deciding which parts of a document
to parse. It's easy to override those rules with subclassing or
function composition. The SoupStrainer class, which contains
all the matching logic you're familiar with from the find_*
methods, is now a subclass of ElementFilter.
* The new PageElement.filter() method provides a fully general
way of finding elements in a Beautiful Soup parse tree. You can
specify a function to iterate over the tree and an
ElementFilter to determine what matches.
* The new_tag() method now takes a 'string' argument. This allows
you to set the string contents of a Tag when creating it. Patch
by Chris Papademetrious. [bug=2044599]
* Defined a number of new iterators which are the same as
existing iterators, but which yield the element itself before
beginning to traverse the tree. [bug=2052936] [bug=2067634]
- PageElement.self_and_parents
- PageElement.self_and_descendants
- PageElement.self_and_next_elements
- PageElement.self_and_next_siblings
- PageElement.self_and_previous_elements
- PageElement.self_and_previous_siblings
self_and_parents yields the element you call it on and then all
of its parents. self_and_next_element yields the element you
call it on and then every element parsed afterwards; and so on.
* The NavigableString class now has a .string property which
returns the string itself. This makes it easier to iterate over
a mixed list of Tag and NavigableString objects. [bug=2044794]
* Defined a new method, Tag.copy_self(), which creates a copy of
a Tag with the same attributes but no contents. [bug=2065120]
Note that this method used to be a private method named
_clone(). The _clone() method has been removed, so if you were
using it, change your code to call copy_self() instead.
* The PageElement.append() method now returns the element that
was appended; it used to have no return value. [bug=2093025]
* The methods PageElement.insert(), PageElement.extend(),
PageElement.insert_before(), and PageElement.insert_after() now
return a list of the items inserted. These methods used to have
no return value. [bug=2093025]
* The PageElement.insert() method now takes a variable number of
arguments and returns a list of all elements inserted, to match
insert_before() and insert_after(). (Even if I hadn't made the
variable-argument change, an edge case around inserting one
Beautiful Soup object into another means that insert()'s return
value needs to be a list.) [bug=2093025]
* Defined a new warning class, UnusualUsageWarning, which is a
superclass for all of the warnings issued when Beautiful Soup
notices something unusual but not guaranteed to be wrong, like
markup that looks like a URL (MarkupResemblesLocatorWarning) or
XML being run through an HTML parser (XMLParsedAsHTMLWarning).
The text of these warnings has been revamped to explain in more
detail what is going on, how to check if you've made a mistake,
and how to make the warning go away if you are acting
deliberately.
If these warnings are interfering with your workflow, or simply
annoying you, you can filter all of them by filtering
UnusualUsageWarning, without worrying about losing the warnings
Beautiful Soup issues when there *definitely* is a problem you
need to correct.
* It's now possible to modify the behavior of the list used to
store the values of multi-valued attributes such as HTML
'class', by passing in whatever class you want instantiated
(instead of a normal Python list) to the TreeBuilder
constructor as attribute_value_list_class. [bug=2052943]
[#]# Improvements
* decompose() was moved from Tag to its superclass PageElement,
since there's no reason it won't also work on NavigableString
objects.
* Emit an UnusualUsageWarning if the user tries to search for an
attribute called _class; they probably mean "class_".
[bug=2025089]
* The MarkupResemblesLocatorWarning issued when the markup
resembles a filename is now issued less often, due to
improvements in detecting markup that's unlikely to be a
filename. [bug=2052988]
* Emit a warning if a document is parsed using a SoupStrainer
that's set up to filter everything. In these cases, filtering
everything is the most consistent thing to do, but there was no
indication that this was happening, so the behavior may have
seemed mysterious.
* When using one of the find() methods or creating a
SoupStrainer, you can pass a list of any accepted object
(strings, regular expressions, etc.) for any of the objects.
Previously you could only pass in a list of strings.
* A SoupStrainer can now filter tag creation based on a tag's
namespaced name. Previously only the unqualified name could be
used.
* Added the correct stacklevel to another instance of the
XMLParsedAsHTMLWarning. [bug=2034451]
* Improved the wording of the TypeError raised when you pass
something other than markup into the BeautifulSoup constructor.
[bug=2071530]
* Optimized the case where you use Tag.insert() to "insert" a
PageElement into its current location. [bug=2077020]
* Changes to make tests work whether tests are run under
soupsieve 2.6 or an earlier version. Based on a patch by
Stefano Rivera.
* Removed the strip_cdata argument to lxml's HTMLParser
constructor, which never did anything and is deprecated as of
lxml 5.3.0. Patch by Stefano Rivera. [bug=2076897]
[#]# Bug fixes
* Copying a tag with a multi-valued attribute now makes a copy of
the list of values, eliminating a bug where both the old and
new copy shared the same list. [bug=2067412]
* The lxml TreeBuilder, like the other TreeBuilders, now filters
a document's initial DOCTYPE if you've set up a SoupStrainer
that eliminates it. [bug=2062000]
* A lot of things can go wrong if you modify the parse tree while
iterating over it, especially if you are removing or replacing
elements. Most of those things fall under the category of
unexpected behavior (which is why I don't recommend doing
this), but there are a few ways that caused unhandled
exceptions. The list comprehensions used by Beautiful Soup
(e.g. .descendants, which powers the find* methods) should now
work correctly in those cases, or at least not raise
exceptions.
As part of this work, I changed when the list comprehension
determines the next element. Previously it was done after the
yield statement; now it's done before the yield statement. This
lets you remove the yielded element in calling code, or modify
it in a way that would break this calculation, without causing
an exception.
So if your code relies on modifying the tree in a way that
'steers' a list comprehension, rather than using the list
comprension to decide which bits of the tree to modify, it will
probably stop working at this point. [bug=2091118]
* Fixed an error in the lookup table used when converting
ISO-Latin-1 to ASCII, which no one should do anyway.
* Corrected the markup that's output in the unlikely event that
you encode a document to a Python internal encoding (like
"palmos") that's not recognized by the HTML or XML standard.
* UnicodeDammit.markup is now always a bytestring representing
the *original* markup (sans BOM), and
UnicodeDammit.unicode_markup is always the converted Unicode
equivalent of the original markup. Previously,
UnicodeDammit.markup was treated inconsistently and would often
end up containing Unicode. UnicodeDammit.markup was not a
documented attribute, but if you were using it, you probably
want to switch to using .unicode_markup instead.
- Drop soupsieve26-compat.patch
* Wed Jun 18 2025 Matej Cepl <mcepl@cepl.eu>
- Skip failing test test_rejected_input, it is known to be flaky
and dependent on the various changes in Python (which there
will be more coming in few days).
* Fri Nov 01 2024 Matej Cepl <mcepl@cepl.eu>
- Add soupsieve26-compat.patch to make tests more tolerant with
various versions of soupsieve (better solution for lp#2086199).
* Thu Oct 31 2024 Matej Cepl <mcepl@cepl.eu>
- Skip the test test_unsupported_pseudoclass (lp#2086199).
* Sat Jan 20 2024 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 4.12.3:
* Fixed a regression such that if you set .hidden on a tag, the
tag becomes invisible but its contents are still visible. User
manipulation of .hidden is not a documented or supported
feature, so don't do this, but it wasn't too difficult to
keep the old behavior
working.
* Fixed a case found by Mengyuhan where html.parser giving up
on markup would result in an AssertionError instead of a
ParserRejectedMarkup exception.
* Added the correct stacklevel to instances of the
XMLParsedAsHTMLWarning.
* Corrected the syntax of the license definition in
pyproject.toml.
* Corrected a typo in a test that was causing test failures
when run against libxml2 2.12.1.
* Thu Nov 23 2023 Steve Kowalik <steven.kowalik@suse.com>
- Require cchardet explicitly to avoid charset-normalizer braindamage.
* Mon May 08 2023 Daniel Garcia <daniel.garcia@suse.com>
- Update to 4.12.2:
* Fixed an unhandled exception in BeautifulSoup.decode_contents
and methods that call it. [bug=2015545]
- 4.12.1:
* This version of Beautiful Soup replaces setup.py and setup.cfg
with pyproject.toml. Beautiful Soup now uses tox as its test backend
and hatch to do builds.
* The main functional improvement in this version is a nonrecursive technique
for regenerating a tree. This technique is used to avoid situations where,
in previous versions, doing something to a very deeply nested tree
would overflow the Python interpreter stack:
1. Outputting a tree as a string, e.g. with
BeautifulSoup.encode() [bug=1471755]
2. Making copies of trees (copy.copy() and
copy.deepcopy() from the Python standard library). [bug=1709837]
3. Pickling a BeautifulSoup object. (Note that pickling a Tag
object can still cause an overflow.)
* Making a copy of a BeautifulSoup object no longer parses the
document again, which should improve performance significantly.
* When a BeautifulSoup object is unpickled, Beautiful Soup now
tries to associate an appropriate TreeBuilder object with it.
* Tag.prettify() will now consistently end prettified markup with
a newline.
* Added unit tests for fuzz test cases created by third
parties. Some of these tests are skipped since they point
to problems outside of Beautiful Soup, but this change
puts them all in one convenient place.
* PageElement now implements the known_xml attribute. (This was technically
a bug, but it shouldn't be an issue in normal use.) [bug=2007895]
* The demonstrate_parser_differences.py script was still written in
Python 2. I've converted it to Python 3, but since no one has
mentioned this over the years, it's a sign that no one uses this
script and it's not serving its purpose.
- 4.12.0:
* Introduced the .css property, which centralizes all access to
the Soup Sieve API. This allows Beautiful Soup to give direct
access to as much of Soup Sieve that makes sense, without cluttering
the BeautifulSoup and Tag classes with a lot of new methods.
This does mean one addition to the BeautifulSoup and Tag classes
(the .css property itself), so this might be a breaking change if you
happen to use Beautiful Soup to parse XML that includes a tag called
<css>. In particular, code like this will stop working in 4.12.0:
soup.css['id']
Code like this will work just as before:
soup.find_one('css')['id']
The Soup Sieve methods supported through the .css property are
select(), select_one(), iselect(), closest(), match(), filter(),
escape(), and compile(). The BeautifulSoup and Tag classes still
support the select() and select_one() methods; they have not been
deprecated, but they have been demoted to convenience methods.
[bug=2003677]
* When the html.parser parser decides it can't parse a document, Beautiful
Soup now consistently propagates this fact by raising a
ParserRejectedMarkup error. [bug=2007343]
* Removed some error checking code from diagnose(), which is redundant with
similar (but more Pythonic) code in the BeautifulSoup constructor.
[bug=2007344]
* Added intersphinx references to the documentation so that other
projects have a target to point to when they reference Beautiful
Soup classes. [bug=1453370]
- 4.11.2:
* Fixed test failures caused by nondeterministic behavior of
UnicodeDammit's character detection, depending on the platform setup.
[bug=1973072]
* Fixed another crash when overriding multi_valued_attributes and using the
html5lib parser. [bug=1948488]
* The HTMLFormatter and XMLFormatter constructors no longer return a
value. [bug=1992693]
* Tag.interesting_string_types is now propagated when a tag is
copied. [bug=1990400]
* Warnings now do their best to provide an appropriate stacklevel,
improving the usefulness of the message. [bug=1978744]
* Passing a Tag's .contents into PageElement.extend() now works the
same way as passing the Tag itself.
* Soup Sieve tests will be skipped if the library is not installed.
- 4.11.1:
This release was done to ensure that the unit tests are packaged along
with the released source. There are no functionality changes in this
release, but there are a few other packaging changes:
* The Japanese and Korean translations of the documentation are included.
* The changelog is now packaged as CHANGELOG, and the license file is
packaged as LICENSE. NEWS.txt and COPYING.txt are still present,
but may be removed in the future.
* TODO.txt is no longer packaged, since a TODO is not relevant for released
code.
- 4.11.0:
* Ported unit tests to use pytest.
* Added special string classes, RubyParenthesisString and RubyTextString,
to make it possible to treat ruby text specially in get_text() calls.
[bug=1941980]
* It's now possible to customize the way output is indented by
providing a value for the 'indent' argument to the Formatter
constructor. The 'indent' argument works very similarly to the
argument of the same name in the Python standard library's
json.dump() function. [bug=1955497]
* If the charset-normalizer Python module
(https://pypi.org/project/charset-normalizer/) is installed, Beautiful
Soup will use it to detect the character sets of incoming documents.
This is also the module used by newer versions of the Requests library.
For the sake of backwards compatibility, chardet and cchardet both take
precedence if installed. [bug=1955346]
* Added a workaround for an lxml bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxml/+bug/1948551) that causes
problems when parsing a Unicode string beginning with BYTE ORDER MARK.
[bug=1947768]
* Issue a warning when an HTML parser is used to parse a document that
looks like XML but not XHTML. [bug=1939121]
* Do a better job of keeping track of namespaces as an XML document is
parsed, so that CSS selectors that use namespaces will do the right
thing more often. [bug=1946243]
* Some time ago, the misleadingly named "text" argument to find-type
methods was renamed to the more accurate "string." But this supposed
"renaming" didn't make it into important places like the method
signatures or the docstrings. That's corrected in this
version. "text" still works, but will give a DeprecationWarning.
[bug=1947038]
* Fixed a crash when pickling a BeautifulSoup object that has no
tree builder. [bug=1934003]
* Fixed a crash when overriding multi_valued_attributes and using the
html5lib parser. [bug=1948488]
* Standardized the wording of the MarkupResemblesLocatorWarning
warnings to omit untrusted input and make the warnings less
judgmental about what you ought to be doing. [bug=1955450]
* Removed support for the iconv_codec library, which doesn't seem
to exist anymore and was never put up on PyPI. (The closest
replacement on PyPI, iconv_codecs, is GPL-licensed, so we can't use
it--it's also quite old.)
* Sun Apr 23 2023 Matej Cepl <mcepl@suse.com>
- Switch documentation to be within the main package.
* Fri Apr 21 2023 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- add sle15_python_module_pythons (jsc#PED-68)
* Thu Apr 13 2023 Matej Cepl <mcepl@suse.com>
- Make calling of %{sle15modernpython} optional.
* Wed Feb 09 2022 Steve Kowalik <steven.kowalik@suse.com>
- Update to 4.10.0:
* This is the first release of Beautiful Soup to only support Python 3.
* The behavior of methods like .get_text() and .strings now differs
depending on the type of tag.
* NavigableString and its subclasses now implement the get_text()
method, as well as the properties .strings and
.stripped_strings.
* The 'html5' formatter now treats attributes whose values are the
empty string as HTML boolean attributes.
* The 'replace_with()' method now takes a variable number of arguments,
and can be used to replace a single element with a sequence of elements.
* Corrected output when the namespace prefix associated with a
namespaced attribute is the empty string, as opposed to
None.
* Performance improvement when processing tags that speeds up overall
tree construction by 2%. Patch by Morotti. [bug=1899358]
* Corrected the use of special string container classes in cases when a
single tag may contain strings with different containers; such as
the <template> tag, which may contain both TemplateString objects
and Comment objects.
* The html.parser tree builder can now handle named entities
found in the HTML5 spec in much the same way that the html5lib
tree builder does.
* Added a second way to pass specify encodings to UnicodeDammit and
EncodingDetector, based on the order of precedence defined in the
HTML5 spec.
* Improve the warning issued when a directory name (as opposed to
the name of a regular file) is passed as markup into the BeautifulSoup
constructor.
- Do not pass the directory to pytest.
